Penn State is committed to providing all students with a world-class education. To help measure the quality of online courses we have implemented Quality Matters (QM), a research-based rubric and course review system for measuring the quality of online course design. The core philosophy of QM is continuous improvement based on collegial and constructive feedback. Course reviewers are trained on the use of the QM Rubric. Participation in QM@PSU is voluntary. This site outlines several options Penn State faculty and staff have for integrating QM into their existing quality assurance strategies and course development processes.

For more information about Quality Matters, visit the QM@PSU section of this web site. To discuss your quality assurance needs and the possibilities of using QM with your online or hybrid courses, please contact Penn State’s QM Coordinator using the Contact form.
